Varjo aero headset,the game crashes systematically when I lift my headset to see the keyboard

[CacooLR07]

Hello,
I use DCS MT with a Varjo aero headset since the update of DCS world ,the game crashes systematically when I lift my headset to see the keyboard.
I tried to uninstall the quad view without success.
I've also completely reinstalled DCS world but nothing works.
any ideas?
Thanks

Try the Varjo specific version of quad views see if that helps

happening to me a lot lately... the Aero restarts if I put it aside or start it aside and put it on.  not always but very often

Hello guys,

I have similar problems - good to know I'm not alone. (DCS standalone without steam via openXR and mbucchia/Varjo-Foveated without openXR Toolkit)

Whenever I take the headset off in flight or even just touch it and move something, it immediately disconnects and Varjo Base restarts - sometimes several times in a row.
In my opinion, this only happened after the current Varjo Base update at the beginning of April. Before this update everything was running relatively smoothly. Can you confirm that?

Before yesterday's DCS update (April 10, 2024), it was at least the case that after Varjo Base was restarted, the headset was found again and Varjo Base connected again to the running DCS game - BUT without the headset's internal sound. The sound then no longer came through the headphones but rather through the PC speakers.

After yesterday's DCS update (April 10, 2024) even that is no longer possible. When I take off the headset, DCS crashes immediately withe the disconnection of the headset.
Absolutely annoying and unplayable.

I'll try to install the old Varjo Base version, see if that helps and will report the outcome here.

Did any of you find a solution?

The other thing to check is that the cable connection is fully in... Try removing it and reseating it in the headset

So, I deinstalled Varjo Base and tried several older Versions but everything stays the same. Then I noticed that there is a new version with several bug fixes that has been released today on the Varjo website. I installed it but the problems stay the same.

And sure have I checked the cables plugged out the headset, restartet my system not only once...

When I take off the headset disconnects and Varjo Base restarts EVERY fu***g time sometimes 3 or 4 times after another. Foveated rendering also doesn´t work from time to time. There is always the hint that the are too many reflections from the headset - I never had this before and this sh*t all happens when I not even have started DCS. This is soooo annoying. 

Even Steam VR doesn´t work.

is there a sensor inside the varjo to detect when you take it off put a sticker over it to make it think you are there.. or chabnge that setting in the software if possible to not auto shut off when removing the headset..

Does this only happen with DCS? Can you test it with other VR games?

Hi, I had the same problem with re-installing an older version of VB. VB leaves behind a few files when you un-install it  that upsets the roll backed version of VB. These have to be manually removed before installing an older version of VB. I used an app called "Everything" as recommended by an Aero user on Discord to find them and it worked well.

Yep..same irritating problem here at the moment.

I tried to fool the headset by putting a cloth in it when i'm not wearing it, that seems to work.... partially.

DCS doesn't crash if i do that but, sometimes..not allways.. i loose the functions of the buttons on the headset, and i'm not sure if eye tracking is working than.

worth a try...maybe ?

[P3CFE]

Oke I think i may have found a solution for the problem.

In "Varjo Base" i had only OpenXr Activated in the 'Compatibility" section when i had the problem of DCS crashing when i took af the headset.

When i also activated OpenVR the problem was gone,So:.. with both OpenXr and Open VR Activated i can take off the headset and even restart it while in DCS and continue the flight

Hope you can solve this in the same way.

I appreciate this is a month old, but are you using lens inserts?

[Leafcutter1008]

To all those who have this problem: It is usually due to the cable that is plugged into the headset. Simply pull it out and plug it in again, that's it. I read this somewhere, tried it out and everything went fine again. It must have been a coincidence that this occurred shortly after the update.

Hope that helps

...some months have passed again...

Yes, I use blue light protection lense inserts...but I have to mention that this problem happens very rarely since I described it in april.

Maybe Varjo solved this with their new software updates...but thanks for the question. I didn´t even think about the inserts may cause this error message...

Cheers

I solved it on mine… indeed the usb cable seating is flimsy

[kouichi1]

I had a similar problem but it was solved.

I unplugged all the USB cables from the PC.

When I plugged the Varjo Aero USB cable into a different USB port, the USB driver was reinstalled.

It may also be effective to delete the USB driver with usbdeview-x64 and reinstall it.

 

Best of luck.
